The lecture explains about the benefits of four-days work week system. It has lots of advantages both of employees and company. The reading passage, however, states that this system is useless. These two of descript are contradicted.
First of all, the lecture states the benefit of four-days work because it makes more free time. For this, employees spend more time with their friends and family. Moreover, more free time helps releasing their stress so when they go back to their office they are in a good body and mental condition. For these reasons it seems able to create higher quality life than usual five days work system. These points are directly contradictory to the reading passage's claim that it does not reduce the actual working time because of the extra shift of work days.
Furthermore, employees' productivities are increased by this system. It is good for both of companies and employees because their high focus on job brings better products. What's more, it makes employees to enhance their skill of time management due to short work time, whereas contrary the reading passage's argument that because of lower salary and lack of improving skill, the productivities are decreased.
Lastly, the lecture mentions the profit of companies. The four-day work system brings the result of improving of financial profit. Reducing pa/yingment and utility fee offer saving money. Therefore, the companies can closer to cost-effective management. The problem of claims from their customers is solved by dividing two groups of their staffs. If companies do this, they not only remove the claim of customer about absent of employees, but also offer more jobs to people who want to work for them. These aspects repute the reading passage’s argument that the company will get financial problem from loss of customers.
